I'm using this script to delete data from all the tables in my database. It generates DELETE statements in proper order, each request in one row :

DECLARE @schema_name sysname;

DECLARE @table_name sysname;

DECLARE @constraint_name sysname;

DECLARE @constraint_object_id int;

DECLARE @referenced_object_name sysname;

DECLARE @is_disabled bit;

DECLARE @is_not_for_replication bit;

DECLARE @is_not_trusted bit;

DECLARE @delete_referential_action tinyint;

DECLARE @update_referential_action tinyint;

DECLARE @tsql nvarchar(4000);

DECLARE @tsql2 nvarchar(4000);

DECLARE @fkCol sysname;

DECLARE @pkCol sysname;

DECLARE @col1 bit;

DECLARE @action char(6) = 'DROP';  

DECLARE @referenced_schema_name sysname;



DECLARE FKcursor CURSOR FOR

     select OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(parent_object_id)

         , OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id), name, OBJECT_NAME(referenced_object_id)

         , delete_referential_action, update_referential_action, OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(referenced_object_id)

    from sys.foreign_keys

    order by 1,2;

OPEN FKcursor;

FETCH NEXT FROM FKcursor INTO @schema_name, @table_name, @constraint_name

    , @referenced_object_name, @constraint_object_id

        , @delete_referential_action, @update_referential_action, @referenced_schema_name;

END;

CLOSE FKcursor;

DEALLOCATE FKcursor;  

After I copy those statements and run them.
Is there anyway to generante these statements and execute them in just one step ?

Instead of issuing PRINT @tsql;, you can issue EXEC( @tsql );, if I understand what you're asking.

If so, I would suggest declaring a preview parameter ( something like DECLARE @Preview BIT = 1; ) and then use an IF to either print or execute.

IF ( @Preview = 1 )
BEGIN
    PRINT @tsql;
END ELSE BEGIN
    EXEC( @tsql );
END;
